Keiynan Lonsdale Only Appearing For Three Episodes of The Flash Season 5

In an interview with Newsarama, The Flash showrunner Todd Helbing revealed that Keiynan Lonsdale will only make three appearance during the show’s upcoming fifth season. Here are highlights:

On when Wally West shows up: “You will see Wally in the first episode. He is in three episodes this season. We don’t have as much time with Kid Flash as I think everyone would like to see, but the story we have for him is really cool.”

Jessica Parker Kennedy on playing Nora: “Personality-wise, I think she’s a lot like Barry. Certainly, the way Barry was early on. She’s finding her footing. She’s goofy, she’s dorky, she’s very young spirited. She is prone to making mistakes and other people needing to clean them up. That’s just sort of where she’s at right now. She’s in the experimental phase of her life.”

Danielle Panabaker on directing her first episode: “I shadowed a lot in Season 4 and Tom Cavanagh in particular has been really generous with his time and his support and guidance. Then this summer I did a program led by Warner Brothers specifically for first time directors. I did all of those things and I’m not directing until later in the season – not until episode 18. I have a little bit of time to learn and absorb as much as I can.”
